I think he meant it is likely to be a top pick, and not necessarily the top pick.

Quite frankly by the end of the year I'm thinking the Thunder are going to have a better record than at least the Kings and the Wizards, which is going to reduce that 25% chance of the #1 pick dramatically. Throw in a lucky ping pong ball for a mid lottery team, and the Thunder could be looking at the 4th-6th pick in the draft next year.

Everyone's assuming that Griffin will be on the Thunder next year, but the Thunder aren't even going to have the best chance at winning the lottery next year

suns will get 2009 first round pick from okc(likely to be a top lottery pick), cleveland(not very high), and portland. Suns get tons of expirers for this summer and 2010.

Future suns lineup

Greg Monroe(first rounder from okc)
Carlos Boozer(FA)
Jeff Green
Jason Richardson( was gonna find a place to trade him too, but it only let you do 4 teams).
Jerryd Bayless

im thinking this trade idea took a good 5-10 minutes. With that being said, you could've did something else with those 5-10 good minutes other than making this ridiculous trade idea. But then again, it gave me a good laugh
